Blueprint for Zero Trust in a SASE Architecture

For a concept that represents nothing, “zero trust” is absolutely everywhere. Lost in much of the noise, though, is a cogent description of the goals of a zero trust approach and the outcomes that approach is meant to achieve. Companies who’ve explored how to embark upon zero trust projects encounter daunting challenges: inconsistent definitions, incompatible and complex legacy IT, and indeterminate signs of completion. The shift to cloud, the transition to remote work, and digital transformation create an opportunity to frame the importance of zero trust principles unique to multi-cloud secure access service edge (SASE)-enabled architectures. At Netskope, we believe zero trust in a SASE or hybrid environment consists of the ability to establish continuous adaptive trust across users, devices, networks, applications, and data to increase confidence in policy enforcement everywhere.
